Hey guys,

First off this is my first post in the forum, second I have a 1977 xs500d that was my grandfathers bike. after receiving it a few months ago i took on the job of getting it running and usable again. I have however run into a snag: after the bike has been running a while and has gotten hot the right cylinder will cut out. I have torn down the carbs twice and cleaned them and re synced them. does anybody have an idea of what could be going on. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

-Rob

nevermind. might try to sync them or the oil pump isnt fully working on the right side or something.

coil heating up and going bad?

I don't know about your year, but I'm pretty sure that my 500 only has one oil pump.... I suppose it could be a blocked oil passage, but that would cause a major failure, not just cutting out.

When does it cut out? low, mid, or high rpm?
